It's sheep. Is that a bad thing?
It seems like XXL has brought out its cycle collection and this is going to shake things up a bit. On the MTB side they have a full XT-spec with Reba shock under the name of White XC Pro MTB 10 for only 13000kr! And on the LVG side they have an Ultegra-spec called White RR Pro Ultegra CD LVG 10, also for 13000kr.
So now what? Should we take to the usual cycling snobbery and just call this cheap crap? That is what they say about Canyon despite good prices, unbeatable specs and very favourable reviews. XXL is not a mail-order thing so we can't use that argument either. And the bikes are not ful som fan either like Cube or several American brands. So what should we do? Embrace the cheap or diss it? With the money you save, you can buy a nice set of wheels.
